Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is an Affectionate Spitfire - Chapter 1447
Chapter 1447: Searching for the Truth
“Mommy, wake up quickly. I am still waiting for you to buy me beautiful dresses. You promised to bring me to an amusement park. Can you please wake up sooner?”
“That’s right, mommy; you made many promises to sister. You said that only a bad person will make empty promises. You aren’t a bad person, so wake up quickly and recover fast.”
“I will be obedient to you in the future and won’t make you angry. Also, our second brother still doesn’t know that something happened to you; he’ll be very upset once he finds out.”
“…”
Ji Ziming watched the two children comfort their mother while seemingly talking to him.
The phone rang, and the man nearly lost his footing when he collided with a nurse carrying medicine supplies as he stood up. “S… Sorry, sir; I… I didn’t mean to bump into you.”
He frowned slightly. “Are you changing the medicine for your ma’am?”
“No. Dr. Sun mentioned earlier that these medicines are for madam when she wakes up later. He said—”
“Leave them here.” He frowned as he left the room with the constantly vibrating phone in his hand.
The nurse’s eyes brimmed with adoration over how cool the man was. This VVIP ward had rules in place. It did not matter whether the man had family or not. She would be satisfied as long as he smiled her way for a few seconds.
“Hello. Speak.”
“Sir, we just checked the footage. The person driving was wearing a cap, so we couldn’t identify him. That Porsche has an unregistered license plate and the car’s logo is fake. Ultimately, we—”
“Don’t have any results, right?” His frightening voice sounded even more terrifying and icier over the phone.
“I…”
“Aren’t you at the place of the accident. Other than those, didn’t you notice anything else?”
“It happened too fast, and everyone wanted to protect ma’am and the children, so nobody took notice of the speeding car.”
“Bunch of good-for-nothings!” His voice sounded neither too loud nor soft in the ward, yet the nurse’s hand trembled while wiping Pei Ge’s face. So manly!
“Why do I need you?!” Another shout was heard.
The nurse, who was wiping one of Pei Ge’s arms now, looked at the two children and thought to herself that the man was truly good-looking and it was a pity to her beautiful looks…
This nurse was known around here as a ‘dinosaur girl’. She was interested in a good-looking interior designer and kept harassing him to let her be his girlfriend when he recovered, but that guy took advantage of her working the night shift the next day to change hospitals.
“Boss, we’re useless!”
“You dared admit that you’re useless! I’ll give you another day; if you’re unable to get any useful leads, then get lost!”
“Understood!”
The man hung up, feeling infuriated. If only he had been at the scene when it had happened. Alas, he had seen neither the car nor the perpetrator.
The phone rang again, and he picked it up without looking, spat angrily, “What is it?!”
“What’s wrong with you? Son, did anything happen?” His mother was shocked by his outburst. “Why are you yelling over the phone?”
“Mom, what’re you calling me for?” He sounded less harsh now.
“I’m just calling to ask when you’ll be back.” Madam Ji frowned. She sensed that something happened, for her son was not prone to having outbursts. It was probably serious as it caused her son to lose his cool.
“I’m in the hospital; will be back in a few days’ time.”
Indeed, her heart skipped a beat when she heard this and asked anxiously, “Are you okay? Don’t scare your mother like this.”
“I’m fine; it’s Ge Ge.”
“What’s wrong with her?” She was relieved to hear that it was not her son, but just as she wanted to find that woman, something happened to her, which made her feel suspicious.
“She met a car accident with a driver, but she’s no longer in a critical condition.”
“How did she meet such an accident? That doesn’t make sense.”
She Ji was still worried. The woman was, at the very least, her grandson’s biological mother and she had treated her like her daughter in the past.
“It’s still under investigation, so stop fretting over it.”
“Has the driver been caught? Did that person try to escape responsibility?”
“Yes.” Ji Ziming looked at the wall in front of him. The gold embossed words ‘Ji Group’ seemed eye-piercing to him.
“Son, son, are you listening?”
“If you’ve got nothing else, I’ll hang up. I’ll go look after Ge Ge now.” He returned his focus on the matter at hand as his dark eyes gazed at the door to his woman’s ward.
“Alright, then. I have nothing else. Go look after her. Call me once everything’s been resolved, okay?”
“I got it.”
The older woman only remembered why she called her son after ending the more or less one-minute call. She wanted to talk to her son about the matter between him and Qu Jingwan, but she completely forgot about it when she heard the news about that road accident.
Meanwhile, Qu Jingwan drove the Ji family’s Chrysler to the city’s most expensive café to meet her best friend.
Mu Jiaqian ordered a cup of cappuccino and black forest cake as she sat by the window and played with her phone while waiting for the lady to arrive.
She was wearing a black, body-hugging, tube dress. Lowering her head, her cleavage attracted the male waiter’s attention. His hands were unsteady when carrying the coffee, and he almost tripped when he walked to her side.
She pretended not to notice it as she kept playing with her phone, yet her smile had easily betrayed her delight.
“You’re here. I had a hard time finding.”
“Jingwan, what made you decide to treat me at such a fancy shop?”
“Why can’t I treat you to something nice and expensive?”
“It seems that you’re very happy recently.”
She smiled at her newly arrived friend. Her scarlet lips and sexy, black dress easily attracted all the male customers’ attention in the café.
